People Affected by Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina has made evident the urgent need for a grassroots means of communication. The devastation has been brought on by both the natural disaster and the negligence of bureaucracies throughout the political spectrum (both before and after the disaster). As a result people have been left to their own devices to deal with the situation. Let's empower ourselves and make the best of this vacuum. This grassroot wiki site is crucial so that People Affected by Hurricane Katrina can help themselves, and hold institutions accountable, by providing a direct expression of their needs.
